It's getting cheeky!
Title: "Echoes of the Past"
Concept: The artwork consists of a large, dimly-lit room with a single pedestal in the center. On the pedestal is an antique telephone, and on the walls of the room are projected images and videos of people and events from the past. When someone picks up the phone, they hear a recorded voice on the other end telling a story or anecdote about one of the people or events being shown on the walls. The voice belongs to a person who was directly involved in or affected by the event, but has since passed away.
The catch: The recorded voice is actually being generated by an artificial intelligence program that has been trained to mimic the voices of deceased individuals based on recordings of their speech. As the viewer listens to the story, they are presented with a hauntingly realistic recreation of a voice from the past.
The twist: The story being told is actually a fabrication, created by the AI program based on patterns in the speech recordings of the deceased individual. The story is plausible, and may even be based on real events, but is ultimately a work of fiction.
Through this artwork, viewers are invited to contemplate the nature of memory, storytelling, and the way in which we construct our own narratives about the past. The use of AI-generated voices and fabricated stories raises questions about authenticity, authorship, and the role of technology in shaping our understanding of history.

"AI-generated art that focuses primarily on creating images or visual styles can be seen as a continuation of a longstanding tradition of using technology to create art. For example, digital artists have been using computer software to create images and animations for decades. In this sense, AI-generated art can be seen as a natural extension of these earlier efforts, leveraging the latest in machine learning technology to create new and interesting visual experiences.
However, when it comes to AI-generated conceptual art, the stakes are somewhat different. Here, the focus is less on creating aesthetically pleasing images and more on exploring complex ideas and themes. This kind of work can be more challenging to create, as it requires not just technical expertise but also a deep understanding of contemporary art practices and critical theory.
In many ways, AI-generated conceptual art can be seen as a kind of critique of the art world itself, challenging the notion of the artist as a singular, creative genius and calling into question the very idea of authorship. At the same time, this kind of work can also be seen as a reflection of the rapidly evolving relationship between humans and machines, raising important questions about the role of technology in shaping our society, our culture, and our art."

- Part 1 - that some propaganda logic right there. Prompting art, and using a digital tool to blur a photo are not on the same spectrum.canoe
- Part 2 - It's most challenging to people who are not artists, for artists that's their livelihood. Humans will always appreciate craft....canoe
- If you've ever seen the movie Sideways, the father of the bride writes off fiction as... "It's just something somebody made up." The same will happen with AI...canoe
- "some computer did it"canoe
- Part 3 - This is whackadoo talk. Computers have no soul. They don't go out into the world and take photos. They only react to us.canoe
- Where does it say "on the doll" that computers have soul?
Also, AI is not a computer.palimpsest - AI thinks engagement = genius.canoe
- You're right AI is not a computer, it's art brocanoe
- And it's critiquing the art world itselfcanoe
- Challenging the very notion of the worthiness of an artist and their genius work. Fuck da Whaaaa?canoe
- OK, bro.palimpsest
- That first paragraph is a near perfect sales pitch. Might be the same one used to talk people out of buying a new oven and going with the microwave.canoe
- I'm hyped up about this palimpsest because... don't you think it's a bit self aggrandizing? I mean the last sentence is the only reality based response imho.canoe
- I would probably remove "this kind of work" unless they were referencing to OpenAI in general as "this kind of work"canoe
- Also, I was using "bro" to emphasize how stupid this sounds "..a kind of critique of the art world itself, challenging the notion of the artist as a singular...canoe

The Generative AI Race Has a Dirty Secret
Integrating large language models into search engines could mean a fivefold increase in computing power and huge carbon emissions.IN EARLY FEBRUARY, first Google, then Microsoft, announced major overhauls to their search engines. Both tech giants have spent big on building or buying generative AI tools, which use large language models to understand and respond to complex questions. Now they are trying to integrate them into search, hoping they’ll give users a richer, more accurate experience. The Chinese search company Baidu has announced it will follow suit.
But the excitement over these new tools could be concealing a dirty secret. The race to build high-performance, AI-powered search engines is likely to require a dramatic rise in computing power, and with it a massive increase in the amount of energy that tech companies require and the amount of carbon they emit.

it was fun until it lasted
Microsoft limits Bing chat to five replies to stop the AI from getting real weird
/ Microsoft’s new limits mean Bing chatbot users can only ask a maximum of five questions per session and 50 in total per day.New Bing with ChatGPT may show ads within AI-generated responses

I got a few remixes out.
I used an A.I to make the mastering and another one to extract voices from songs.
https://emastered.com
https://vocalremover.org/I also used Stablediffusion to generate a few prompt that i combined in PS for the cover art.
I had to try, but in the end I find it time consuming and super random.None of these could have been possible 4 years ago.
-Acapella are hard to find and MC out of my budget.
-Mastering is super expensive regarding the income generated by my music (close to zero)I went in the rabbit hole, it was a good exercice to try out those new tools.
I'm pretty happy with the final result.- Cool exercise. Ai and language models are good at figuring out the next word/note but not great at intention imoepic_rim

She is a bad lair or what?
Since no lawyer would say that this holds up.

Saw some generated images made for the boudoir industry. Insane high quality and details are top-notch, dammit.
- how many nipples tho?Nairn
- not enough :)sted
- well it's never enough.sted
- share and we'll be the judges ;)_niko
- Great for concepts. Thankfully, still have to take the pics of actual people to get paid.formed
- @_niko can't do. i will share the url when it's available.sted
- @formed it was just a few samples, there were pictures that were from a series which is quite difficult to produce. it's not at all like what I've seen so farsted
- @sted I've seen some amazing stuff, particularly from some great photogs. So far, it can't really be controlled...we'll see...formed
- You trying to put our Simon out of work, sted? Shame on you. I thought you were one of the good ones. :(Continuity

I would like to hear the opinion of those who believe that human input into AI is not work, and that the output is a product of the machine, not the human behind it.
I see using AI to create images as similar to using a camera. In both cases, you choose a subject, adjust settings: aperture and speed on one, prompt & variations on another. And finally, you "just" press a button and the machine "does all the work" for you.
I'm not talking about the quality of the output, or whether or not it's art. I'm talking about claiming ownership of the output and considering the thought you put into it as work. Not work in a professional sense, but the work of the human consciousness behind the output.
Is taking a picture with a camera or outputting an image with AI comparable?
Thanks for your input.- If you generate 1000 images and use your artistic taste to pick out 5 good ones, then I would consider it to be your product. Similar methods have existedbeforedrgs
- I wasn't even going that far. Pick a random cunt on the street give 1 of them a camera and the other an AI. Is 1 of them putting in more work than the other?palimpsest
- Can one of them claim the result more his own than the other?palimpsest
- Now let's spice things up a bit and add a third cunt to the mix. Let's give this fellow the noble paper and charcoal.palimpsest
- This new fellow might take a bit longer to produce something but I believe all 3 idiots are equally responsible for the shit they will produce, not the tools.palimpsest
- They are responsible for their shit only if: before creating art they wanted to convey something to the world, and the result matches their intention.drgs
- How much work they've put into it does not matter. No point in drawing, no point in taking photographs, no point in dancing if you have nothing to say with itdrgs
- Considering the camera isnt using 413 million image-text pairs as it's base training set I still believe dude with camera is still doing more work.jonny_quest_lives
- Guy with camera bends his knees or gets on his belly for a sweet photo... definitely doing more work. A bit of cardio if you go out with a camera.jonny_quest_lives
- What is the camera taking a picture of? Not something that already exists?palimpsest
- Is reality is made up of less than 413 million things?palimpsest
- If I throw my laptop on the floor and type with my tongue does AI become more work?palimpsest
- it is work. It's a ton of gruelling frustrating work. every time I try something it comes out like shit so kudos to those who have cracked the code._niko
- The whole argument is reductive in the end its about effort. If the midjourney user copied prompts selected the best of 4 options and posted it as creation I'djonny_quest_lives
- I'd say no effort if the user approached the tool with a concept before hand and refined it edited all outside of what was ai generated then there's a bit morjonny_quest_lives
- Then there's the messiness of who the models are trained and consent of the work in the datasetsjonny_quest_lives
- Digital cameras didn't destroy photography there is still a business model there. The same with AI. If anything Artists are better adapted to make it throughjonny_quest_lives
- this prompt craziness as they have the necessary skills to elevate what the machine puts out.jonny_quest_lives
- As for your comparison... If a photographer is going out to experience/explore the world and capture light on surface or human interaction on the streets.jonny_quest_lives
- I'd say the guy with camera is probably experiencing the world differently than the AI prompter and the work would be a reflection of that.jonny_quest_lives
- Art direction/photo editing is more comparable to AI prompting then photography...jonny_quest_lives
- Limited my comparison to single guy with camera... you add in human subjects. real world lighting/weather, permits if commercial shoot. Yeah guy with camera .jonny_quest_lives
